Hi all,
so as someone coming from Win7 having just decided Ubuntu 10.10 is to be my new choice as a primary OS, I have been doing what I always do to any OS I use...customizing to perfection or close lol.

In any case up until a few days ago I had spent a great deal of time
researching how to address Youtube fulls screen freezing and HD playback
issues.

So having tried all the fixes and workarounds I could find, including
testing Youtube in Opera, Chromium, and Firefox 4 beta, I was about to
forget about it because nothing was working.

Then I found the solution for me...simply remove compiz and its core
then reboot!  Afterwards Youtube HD playback and fullscreen mode worked
flawless.  Finally time to watch every preview for Tron Legacy in all
their HD brilliance ;-)

So if nothing else is working for you and you can live without compiz
effects, remove it completely, reboot and hopefully all will be running
just fine for you.

I still have a great deal to learn about Ubuntu for sure, but for now
its time to watch a little Youtube HD and relax...finally!

Cheers,
Yan
